Closing her eyes, Anahita took in a few measured breaths, releasing them evenly and calm. The turmoil going through her mind and spirit was not displayed, she'd long ago learned to perfect her physical form to do exactly what she wanted.
The rambling of the two near her was-- annoying, and base, but there'd been a time in her past that these things would not have mattered. Though, now, even the smallest tidbit of anything stirred her mind, as though anything and everything required examining and discussion.
The thoughts she had, she knew at one point would most likely overwhelm her without a proper release, but for now-- examine and adapt. Survival required learning. Learning took time. Sorting and change, took more. Even this way of thought was new. So many words. Languages and races.
Opening her eyes after the zillion runaway thoughts shot through them, she looked over toward Vare, seeing what he'd written. Trying to keep her thoughts silent, proved to be as much a failure as silencing Jivana.
A single sigh escaped her, her mask otherwise in place, just the desert dweller in a school with beings her age, trying to learn.
Unconsciously, her right fingers toyed with the chain of simple silver wrapped between her left hand digits. The contact reminded her of the Rim of the World, the winds and cold...
...she'd find a moment of silence. She had too...
Halo it taking photos like mad, she even videos the mad kids ranting about others. She seems to be more sore of herself when she's holding a camera.
Click click click ...
As Mel gives her theories and Aananda airs her response (along her furious programming), both Ace and Fei catch a subtle flutter of Vai's eyes, and a slight stirring in her limbs. She might be waking up. Which would be extremely painful for her right now. It might be best if she were sedated.
"Um, Professor, I think Vai might be on the verge of waking up. Which, I'm going to guess is not a good thing, considering." Ace says, still unsure if him talking to Tybs is the best idea.
Fei is already in motion as Ace begins to speak. Returning to the databed controls, he administers just enough sedative to keep the pain from registering.
"If we are going to attempt something, then we must do so now. Vai is incredibly strong, but she cannot endure this for much longer without irreparable harm," the young monk says as he watches her wounds begin to worsen again. He wants to continue healing her, but if waiting a few moments to try Melody's plan will yield a better result from using his energies he is willing to do so.
The green 'tracery' running across the suit now covering most of his body becomes a bit more...lustrous...as he watches her suffering.
"My name is Kevin. I'm a... I dunno what to call it yet. This is new. Anyways, you looked lost and I wanted to help you. Would it be better if I was human? I can do that if you want."
He walks down the hall slowly, but stops and leaves a respectable distance between them.
::I...think that might be her behind that enormous stack of papers...I don't recall the admissions forms being that long....::Witnessing the impromptu performance, the old fox facepalms and rubs the bridge of his nose.
::I hope Alys is finished soon.:: he says to his grandson.
A sound of relief comes from behind the tall stacks of papers on Alys' desk as she finally manages to get a clean copy of the last of the forms.
The scribe has taken all the antics of the teenagers (and non-teenagers) in stride, merely watching impassively. He smiles slightly when Archena thanks him, but beyond that he's pretty serious and professional in his demeanor.
"I believe I have all the papers that were handed out, Professor. In about twenty minutes I shall have these all processed, as long as my peace is maintained." With that, he glances at the occupants of his office, before moving to sit at his desk, sorting through the forms with a frightening speed, magically aided.
She stands and carefully picks up the three different stacks of papers and approaches the desk at the front of the room. She dumps the largest bundle of papers, that from the right hand stack, into the trash bin. The next largest she sets down again with the remaining supply of clean forms on the front desk. Finally, she hands one set of completed forms to the elf with the ridiculously fast hands with a small bow. As she rises from the bow she speaks a few short words.
Though the language she speaks cannot be understood, the sound of the words she uses seems to make reality shiver in the area around her. Anyone close to the desk cannot help but glance in her direction.
Seeming to ignore the brief effect her words had on nearby listeners, Alys retrieves the bundle from beside her desk and walks out of the room coming to a stop at a respectful distance in front of Genosuke and bowing deeply.
"You know what I meant." She smiles ruefully.
"So, names? I'm Archena."
"Taika."
"My name is Kevin. I'm a... I dunno what to call it yet. This is new. Anyways, you looked lost and I wanted to help you. Would it be better if I was human? I can do that if you want."
He walks down the hall slowly, but stops and leaves a respectable distance between them.
Scooting a bit more, so just finger tips and her face are around the corner, she looks back at Kevin saying, "The female, white cloth, move a stick at me, I understand your speak, but not what means. Where is the dark hair Not Master? What is ... Human? You are not like me. These halls are not like there. Why this happen? Not to be left alone. Left alone by Not Master. Head fuzzy, pain, so much new. Chest thump much. Why? What?"
She sounds perfectly natural at speaking Common, but her grammar and word choices are that of a small child.
"Taika.""You know what I meant." She smiles ruefully.
"So, names? I'm Archena."
"Vis. I would say I'm looking forward to seeing you more, but I'm not going to be in the same section of the school as you."
"If you thought that I was insane earlier, well, don't really blame you. I just heard this creepy voice in my head telling me about 'Others' and telling me to consume and destroy them. I figure it was just some telepath messing with my head after seeing the illusion." Iolth looks visibly shaken. "I just get really freaked out and stressed when that kind of crap happens. Considering that I was b*~#~~& insane when Kaetar found me-and I was going around being Apocalypse, Destroyer of Worlds (that was the actual name they gave me)-I just really, really, REALLY don't like being messed with like that and making me think I'm going crazy. You can probably understand why that makes me nervous."
He nods, resting a hand on Lolth's shoulder. "If your having problems I'll help ya' out, I don't think your insane, besides if there was a telepath doing that on the first day then he or she deserves to be locked up" he briefly looks around before continuing, "and trust me, if you start going through that again, there's no way a teacher isn't gonna help out"

Tryko'Sam doesn't appear to have a suggestion, right after Casseus speaks about 'big bads', he might be thinking about it though, while the view of the room remains on Screen Two.
Seeming to ignore the brief effect her words had on nearby listeners, Alys retrieves the bundle from beside her desk and walks out of the room coming to a stop at a respectful distance in...
Bows slightly higher than Alys, then smiles and takes her up in a hug.
"You've grown, pup! It's good to see you." He steps back, and motions to Keme "Alys, this is your cousin Keme."
"Um, Professor, I think Vai might be on the verge of waking up. Which, I'm going to guess is not a good thing, considering." Ace says, still unsure if him talking to Tybs is the best idea.
Mel simply stress what she needs. Fei has that well in hand, I've seen what Vai can take, she is much stronger than most give her credit for.
As she starts pulling apart some equipment, pulling cables out and draping them over Vai.
Ace, stop wimping out! Man up, and get over there and bring Tybs here. If we are to make an opening for the nanittes to get a chance to work and put a stop to this, I need his cold abilities. when you get back I have another job for you.
Mel stops working and looks to Ace, Move it! she says emphasizing her need for Tybs.
Mel means business
Fei is already in motion as Ace begins to speak. Returning to the databed controls, he administers just enough sedative to keep the pain from registering.

looking to Fei, Don't worry Fei, I didn't give up bringing you back for her. I wont let her be taken from you either. she sound reassuring and confident almost easing all the tension in the room.

Walks into the infirmary, looking for a staff member...
strolling through the school grounds seemingly lost are two little girls a colorful dog, and one is carrying a ragged teddy bear. both look like a couple of homeless kids that wandered off the streets dirty nad torn clothing.
maybe we just need to find a guard, they must have guards, right? Kim asks
Having finished his breakfast, notified Professor Nix of his absence during class this day, and informed his other teachers that he would be attending the infirmary for the duration of Nala's absence, Phaezeriel checks the patient list and status for the infirmary.
Phaezeriel's mental cry can be heard throughout the cafeteria and in most nearby rooms,
Walks into the infirmary, looking for a staff member...
He then vanishes from the cafeteria and reappears in the infirmary, rushing right past a somewhat startled Krays to the room with Vai.
His eyes lock on to Vai for a moment, but his thoughts indicate that he is aware of the others in the room, ::Fei, Lady Aananda, what happened to Vai?::
Halo it taking photos like mad, she even videos the mad kids ranting about others. She seems to be more sore of herself when she's holding a camera.

Tall Thin Guy
Halo's actions with the device in hand does not go unnoticed, and at one point, the Tall Thing Guy asks Sorchan, "By the Flame, what is that female doing with that ...device? This place is a mad house of ill mannered beings."
He scowls at the action, but doesn't give it much more attention if Sorchan ignores it, offense spoken, expecting little change here.
Ulna Terrianos
Glancing at the odd three some, Halo, Iolth and Shoshin, Ulna was watching their interaction with a mixture of wide eyes, excited and wary.
Eventually, as before, she over comes her fear and asks Halo, "Excuse me, miss? May I inquire what you are doing with that ... object? With the blinking red illumination?"
Sven Brightedge
Sven's waiting on Sorchan to help with the Ash Haired Youth, having offered to 'escort' the fellow, who seemed not too keen on going into the White Room alone. He may have offered to stay with the AHY in the room too. He certainly isn't roaming off once they were given the all clear.
Ash Haired Youth
Having effectively said 'No' to the White Room, the Ash Haired Youth awaits Sorchan's next action. He continues to keep clear of anyone moving near or touching him. He seems calm in the storm of energy that is the other Firebirds and teens.
He holds up a finger-claw-digit-thing.
"Don't be scared."
He closes his eyes for a moment and focuses new inate magic into a feeling he was familiar with before from his alchemy.
He becomes a human, brown hair, blue eyes, light skin, a black turtleneck and a pair of jeans fill in under the lab coat which now seems comically big on him.
"One more thing."
He downs a test tube full of purple, slightly glowing liquid.
"Now, explain what's happened so I can help you."
He speaks in her native language.

~ Avalon Hallways: Near Infirmary ~
She watches in rapt fascination. Her terror and fears fading as she watches-- but not completely.
"I am the Chosen One, to be sacrificed so my immortal soul can be devoured by the Dark Dwellers of the Abyss that provide power and strength for my Masters."
Her voice doesn't change, it's the same 'language' as before. Kevin might realize that she's also under the effects of something magical or a special person.
"Dark Haired, in dirt color robes, appeared. Took me from ritual. He and I, chased. Blood..." she shudders, "THINGS! Not ... like me, or him, or you, now."
She thinks, and Kevin would realize that she's either lacking in intelligence, or clearly not the mental age her body suggests. Forming coherent thought, other than that first one just now, seems challenging. His Tongue's extract won't give her intelligence, or experience in speaking. She probably didn't do much of that, or get any education.
"Run. Walls changed. Green ... things! Water on ground. White things in sky." She kind of looks up and smiles at the imagery in her mind, speaking of clouds. "THINGS again ... with claws, big teeth. Fire. More run. Sleep. Wake. New place, so many things ... another place with Masters? Not Masters. Here?" She gestures at the halls, not certain.
Taking a breath, looking around, she's calmed a bit, looking back at Kevin.
"Four Not Masters. One Dark Haired. Other, growls. Red skin, metal tube big thing? Odd head." Touching her forehead. "Demon elf ...thing, Dark Master servant? No. But, scared. Alone with Dark Haired Not Master. He say all good, safe, stay, will return. Noise in room. Metal ...uh..." She does like a gripping motion near her waist, then looks back, shrugging.
Her mannerisms are that of a young child, but she's a full teen physically. Gorgeous too, excellent physical shape, well developed, wearing only the medical gown. She doesn't appear bothered by any potential nudity.
"Noises near. Pain. Hurt." A shiver, she looks just past Kevin, then back, "More hallways. Look for Dark Haired Not Master, see ... you? Thing. Flee. Scream. Tell to stop. Not thing after ... Now here."
At this point, she looks slightly determined or not in the state to flee.
::Vai tried to speak about her 'twin' to me, and Light is punishing her for doing so:: Fei replies to Phaezeriel, his own eyes not leaving his meldanya.
::Her roommate, Melody, may have a way to circumvent what is happening. I am glad you are here, though - I may need your help with the actual healing of her wounds when the time comes...::
Phaezeriel growls low and deep in his throat, ::I tire of these accursed Patrons! Will you all join in a collective with me? It will increase my healing ability many times over.:: Phaezeriel attempts to gather Melody, Vai, Fei, Aananda, Ace, and even Krays into a collective.
He looks at Melody, ::What are you doing and in what ways can I assist you?::
Phaezeriel growls low and deep in his throat, ::I tire of these accursed Patrons! Will you all join in a collective with me? It will increase my healing ability many times over.:: Phaezeriel attempts to gather Melody, Vai, Fei, Aananda, Ace, and even Krays into a collective.
Fei nods and allows Phaezeriel into his (uncomfortably) organized mind.
Seeming to ignore the brief effect her words had on nearby listeners, Alys retrieves the bundle from beside her desk and walks out of the room coming to a stop at a respectful distance in...Bows slightly higher than Alys, then smiles and takes her up in a hug.
"You've grown, pup! It's good to see you." He steps back, and motions to Keme "Alys, this is your cousin Keme."
Alys' face splits into a wide grin and she hugs her Uncle tightly. When he introduces Keme, she controls her features and turns to him and bows. She then turns back to Genosuke and speaks a short sentence in the same unintelligible language as before. Again, the world seems to shiver at the sound. After speaking she hands another folded sheet of paper to Genosuke, and after he takes it she clasps her hands together and waits.
please forgive my rudeness in not speaking in an understandable language. Since the day I first began learning to wield magic, and the first Words of Power came to me, I have been unable to speak in any language other than the language that gave birth to all of creation. It is with great effort that I can force my written words into common. But aside from speaking as I would to a fox, I cannot speak any language save that which you have just heard.
My teachers tried everything they knew to help me, but they were unable to affect my condition in the slightest, and so I am here.
I am very happy to see you again, and I hope my time here will be enjoyable as well as productive.
Himuro Alys
looking to Fei, Don't worry Fei, I didn't give up bringing you back for her. I wont let her be taken from you either. she sound reassuring and confident almost easing all the tension in the room.
He smiles a bit at her change in demeanor.
"Thank you, Melody. I am most grateful for your assistance...again," he says with a respectful bow. (^^)
"OK. Recap for my benefit. You were going to be offered to something infernal. Someone from here with dark hair saved you. You ran and were chased by demons, daemons, or other. Then you got here. Met some people, one red with a gun. I might know him. So you were in the infirmary and you didn't like it? And now you're looking for Dark hair guy?
Also, no more masters. You're free now. No masters. No sacrifice. No devour. Not masters. Humans like you."
He gestures to her.
"Dragon."
He gestures to himself, but moves his hand up to indicate that the taller version was the dragon.
"Now human."
He gestures to himself again, without the 'taller' indication.
"Are you supposed to stay in the room with the metal things?"
He's a pretty smart guy, so he understands more or less.
::Vai tried to speak about her 'twin' to me, and Light is punishing her for doing so:: Fei replies to Phaezeriel, his own eyes not leaving his meldanya.
::Her roommate, Melody, may have a way to circumvent what is happening. I am glad you are here, though - I may need your help with the actual healing of her wounds when the time comes...::

He looks at Melody, ::What are you doing and in what ways can I assist you?::
Mel is at first a bit shocked at the entry into her mind, though she didn't really have any true mental defenses to be over come. but she quickly adapts to the telepathic communication.
::She is encased in some sort of electromagnetic radiation field that is both hampering conventional healing ans well as literally cooking her. But I intend to set up an AC electrical current and vary the frequency to find the same frequency as the radiation field then I should be able to isolate the electrical dipole moment that arises from separation of charges due to the exciting electrical potential, and this dipole moment oscillates in time, as the charges move back and forth. This oscillation at a given frequency gives rise to changing electric and magnetic fields, which then set the electromagnetic radiation in motion::
::Then all I need to do is redirect that motion via a conductor to a state of extreme cold, the reduced molecular activity will dampen the magnetic effect thus giving us a window of opportunity to actually heal Vai fully.::
Mel reverts to normal speech at this point. you can help, when the field weakens Vai will be in extreme pain, she will need to have this pain eased until regular healing can work. I will need you to assist Fei in doing this. keep her focused off the pain.
Mel seemed to have developed a leadership role in the room. it seems that the situation that has affected her dear friend has put Mel in a mental state that nobody has ever seen in her before.
when you first made contact with Mel, there ws no real resistance to your telepathic communication, however you were surprised that her mind seems to operating at a capacity that goes beyond normal human capacity. its like there are three minds all working together harmoniously.
She nods. "Hey guys, we gotta get going. Gonna go surprise my instructors by actually showing up to class," she joked. "You guys should get going too. Technically class already started."'I'll walk you to your first class, sound good?' Ehos asks. cheerful in demeanor, trying to distance himself from the disturbing talk of abuse.
"Sounds good to me," she said, holding his hand as they left the cafeteria.
Once they're well away from the others, "So...want to tell me what's bugging you? Or would you rather I just drop it?"
Ash Haired Youth
Looking towards the door, he looks back to Sorchan saying, "Safe. No. Touch. Alone. Bad."
His fear is gone, he's back to calm eyes and keeping distance.
Sven speaks up offering, "Perhaps I can stand near, yet help guide anyone away, Lord del Sol?"
"Thank you, Sven. Yes, I would appreciate that."
Leaving the ash haired boy to Sven's care he once again moved to get the attention of the group.
"Alright, new students, follow me, please and we'll visit some of the areas around the school that will be of interest to you," he said, leading the group through the hall.
"First up is the SIM rooms. You'll all use these for PE classes, and often students choose to use them for recreational time as well. Inside the SIM rooms you experience a realistic but simulated reality. While it feels real, no real harm can happen to you inside."
Cindra follows with the group, quietly and doing nothing to draw the attention of the others.
"OK. Recap for my benefit. You were going to be offered to something infernal. Someone from here with dark hair saved you. You ran and were chased by demons, daemons, or other. Then you got here. Met some people, one red with a gun. I might know him. So you were in the infirmary and you didn't like it? And now you're looking for Dark hair guy?

"Dragon."

"Now human."
He gestures to himself again, without the 'taller' indication.
"Are you supposed to stay in the room with the metal things?"
He's a pretty smart guy, so he understands more or less.
She peers at him curiously again, nods between the speaking in response, and at the end thinks about what he asked.
"Dark Hair did not speak of stay in Room of Healing. Why he leave? Why he not bring Chosen One with? Did not speak of that. He speak of free. Place to learn. Then he go. Speak with growl man. Walk away with demon, elf faced thing and red skin thing with metal device."
Looking around, she looks back at Kevin and asks, "What dragon? Know word, magic used. But, dragon do not know. What now? Unsure what to do."
She very much sounds like a child in her word choices. But, clearly, has some references, just not a lot. The words might make sense, but she doesn't know what they mean. Go magic.
Before Jai and the rest depart, Sil looks to them a little lost "Um, while going to class on time is important, what uh, should I do?"
"Thank you, Sven. Yes, I would appreciate that."
Leaving the ash haired boy to Sven's care he once again moved to get the attention of the group.

~ Admission Party: Hallways ~
Sven nodded crisply, gave the Tall Thin Guy a glance who seemed to accept this offer, and they walked closer to the Ash Haired Youth, being within range, yet not too close.
Once the group started moving, they followed.
Ulna Terrianos
When Halo and company showed up, and especially the nonhuman looking Iolth did his various hyper speed antics, Ulna watched with curiosity, and a hint of fear. As before, however, she did freeze up, but seemed to over come the fear and either watch or move as needed.
With Halo roaming among folks with her camera, Ulna asks, "What is that device, why does it have a blinking red light on it? Is it talking?"
Ash Haired Youth
Having avoided the White Room, the Youth proceeds to walk along with Sven to his right, while remaining towards the back and always at, minimum, just past an arms length of distance.
He appears content to stay out of the focus, giving Halo's camera use a curious glance.
Tryko'Sam doesn't appear to have a suggestion, right after Casseus speaks about 'big bads', he might be thinking about it though, while the view of the room remains on Screen Two.
Jeran grimaced, remembering some of the nasties they had to fight during the demon invasion of the school last year. "We have to interrupt them before they can finish summoning whatever they're summoning," he agreed.
Seeming to ignore the brief effect her words had on nearby listeners, Alys retrieves the bundle from beside her desk and walks out of the room coming to a stop at a respectful distance in...Bows slightly higher than Alys, then smiles and takes her up in a hug.
"You've grown, pup! It's good to see you." He steps back, and motions to Keme "Alys, this is your cousin Keme."
Keme waved hello. "Hey, cuz...welcome to the asylum," he said, grinning.
He looks surprised when she tries to talk and then smiles again. "Heh. Looks like I'm not the only freak in the family anymore...well, you've definitely come to the right place. It's actually pretty cool here...maybe we can get you a datapad or something. There's this one kid who uses one to talk because he can't make any sound or things go boom. Might work for your..uh...language issue...whatever that is...or it might not, but might be worth a try," he said with a shrug.
Vickory comes around the corner carrying a few small packs and sees the sacrifice girl talking to another person. She smiles at the girl as she pulls a wand out of one of the bags and uses it on herself.
"You're up! How are you feeling?" she then addresses the boy, "Hello, I'm Vickory. She doesn't speak any local languages. She a rescued person of sorts."
Vickory slides up to the girl, "They have some neat places here but you shouldn't go too far for now. Tryko will want to find you when we get back from our mission. Do you understand?"

Blonde Girl
Screaming bloody murder again, the young girl bolts away from Vickory as soon as she makes a move towards her in a hurry and clearly panic!

Before Jai and the rest depart, Sil looks to them a little lost "Um, while going to class on time is important, what uh, should I do?"
"Go to the office. Register for classes. Might as well learn something while you're stuck here figuring out those pretty, pretty wings," she teased before heading off to class.

"We have to interrupt them before they can finish summoning whatever they're summoning," he agreed.
"We can't just wait for Vickory. This is urgent. We need to get there before they finish that spell."
Vickory looks at the boy, "She didn't run away last time. Hmm, can you help her please? I'm in a bit of a hurry."
If the boy agrees, Vickory will thank him and continue on back to the sim room. Otherwise...
"We can't just wait for Vickory. This is urgent. We need to get there before they finish that spell."
Tryko'Sam nods and says, "Stopping targeting and mapping sweep." The current files seem to end their updating and such, no updates further on the 3D Hologram map.
"One instant jump into the summoning room, or did you want to be put near that room?" Screen 2 maintains the birds eye view from above some twenty feet of the four summoner so and their supporting staff, perhaps a total of thirty four visible robed persons.
"Give me six seconds and... Drop or put near? Ready on your say, gents. I'll update Vickory when she returns and then monitor from here."
"Put us in the room. That way we won't have to fight our way through flunkies and waste valuable time. Could get ugly fast, but we need to risk it," he said before shifting into wolf form.
::All ready to go.::
Elektra, Etain, and Alev seem to be especially interested in the SIM rooms.
"Can we try them out?"
"Can we at least see what they're doing in there? All I see now are a bunch of doors."
"So...if the damage isn't real...does it still hurt? Cause if it doesn't hurt it would be awesome to go exploring some glaciers...what? I mean, it's a room designed to let you do impossible things, right? What's more impossible than for us to go explore some icy terrain."

"Well, I'm sure we'll see each other around. You seem like a cool little guy."
She smiles and lightly 'punches' him in the shoulder.
"Er, ya, sorry."
He runs after the blonde girl. Years of running from exploding corrosive materials means he's good at getting out of dodge, or in this case, getting back into it. He catches up quickly to the blonde, labcoat blowing out back behind him.
"Hey. hey, hey now. It's OK. She's not gonna hurt you. No one will hurt you here. Do you want to go find dark haired guy?"

She did try to run, but she was a mere human, apparently, and not trained for it. Plus with all the screaming, she eventually found a wall and corner to huddle up into and wail away, terrified at Vickory, apparently, while whimpering wordless sobs and sniffles of draining terror.
She cringed as Kevin caught up to her, not apologizing, but a small, puny, little girl with tears flowing freely.
